Heerdegen missed the P°i?il film » not about the oeited body and the sexual act, but latter occurred and its result*. Two adolescent* fall in love. T»e adults around teem see the consequences qf tfieir love and sexual intercourse should it occur, and have their splutioas to prevent it. Yet it ts the** solution* which drive the couple to a more intimate relationship £“* relationship ruins “i w Nte ’they SAJWrfWft £ the ever-present problem of the recent moral delinquency cases. Mr Heerdegen just restates one* of the adult attitudes which was proved tragically inadequate in the film—the less said and heard about sex the better.—Yours, etc., „ LI. M.R. November 2, 1954. Sir,—Great th* pity in our hearts for 19 W meantime, us have only the Mie dealing with sex. Oh sir, if youth eould see its own folly as we adults see it. If they could see the sinfulness of the nude form bathing in the water. Oh sir, give us more clean murder films and more of those lovely pictures of radiation sickness so that we may wallow unmoved to protest in the blood of our fellow human beings. —Yours, etc..
